Oklahoma City, Sept. 20.—Developments came rapidly today in the Oklahoma martial law situation; nipping a show-down nearer in the fight of Gov. J. C. Walton against the Ku Klux Klan.
The governor, in a proclamation, ordered the removal immediately of fry crosses which have been erected in many cities since the state-wide martial law proclamation Sunday. "They are pagean emblems of fear, hatred, and rebellion," the governor said.
Members of the legislature who are agitating a special session to start impeachment proceedings say that the call has now been signed by forty-five members of the lower house which is nine less than a quarter.
Walton Is Accused
The governor in the document is accused of "establishing an absolute tyranny and desolation over this com- munity," the governor said. Presidency has been set for Sept. 26.

All Freshmen Take Tests
Work of Grading Examinations Going Smoothly
Practically all of the freshmen registered in the University this year have taken the psychological tests required of them before enrolling Professor Curt Rosenow, who is in charge of the testing, estimates that about nine hundred freshmen have been tested.
"The work of grading the tests is going on smoothly, and is now nearly finished. Professor Rosenow said this morning. "Some use will be made of individual students through the offices of the various deans."
The tests are being given for the first time this year at the beginning of the academic year. In other years on account of the difficulty encountered in notifying the individual students it has been almost impossible to get them all tested. Examinations were given on Saturday afternoon, Monday, both morning and evening, on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The largest group tested consisted of 475 students on Monday afternoon.

Will Unsealing of Ancient Egyptian Sepulchre Bring Vast Wealth to Its Owner and University?
Mr. El-Drity who will continue his study of medicine at Rosedale in February, will not return to Egypt to superintend the excavating of the ancient sepulchre. Instead, he will make a map showing the exact position of the tombs on the land, which is surrounded by the soil which he is sole heir, and will appoint an agent to take charge of the work.
An article in the Kansan dated February 27, tells of the unexplored tomb on the El-Driny estate, the opening of which native superstition has forbidden on penalty that should anyone open the sepulchre a member of that family would die. The sole barrier to the survival consented to its opening at the time of her death. August 27.
The deeds to the land were mailed by American Conul General Wadsworth, September 1, to Chancellor E. H. Lindley, who is handling the

E. B. Schultz, secretary of the K. U. Y. M. C. A., made a short talk, emphasizing the courage required to follow one's convictions in college. The "sayy" and the wanklings are the ones who raise questions to Schulz. "Phog" Allen also gave a short talk on the spirit of service to the University.
"Mac" McCoy
The boxing and wrestling exhibitions were staged by Wesley Roberts and Steve Merrill, with Coach G. B. Patrick as referee. Toward the end of the program, "Ham" Hamilton introduced the freshmen to the "Crimson and Blue" and the "Rock "Balk."
The mixer is in charge of a committee of which "Tus" Ackerman was chairman. Milton Cummings, chairman of the board, G. A. Presided during the program.
Cosmopolitan House Filled
The Cosmopolitan house, at 1653 Indiana, is filled to capacity. Those now in the House represent seven different nationalities: American, Filipino, Japanese, Chinese, Hindu, Vietnamese, and Spanish, who asked why their preference for K. U. most of the men answered that they had heard of the sympathetic and hospitable spirit shown here toward foreigners, and that oppoor families are more numerous. The recommendation of friends now here and the efforts of former students and graduates, were other seasons given.
The enrollment of foreign students in the University will be greater than ever before, according to Registrar George O. Foster. There will be more than thirty Filipinos being those who have been here before.

Hawaii will be represented by four students. One of these, T. L. Wongwai, is an athlete of co. saluterate note, having run the 100 yard race with his teammate Moris Kirkdey, noted Olympistar, in the 120 in an A. A. U. meet at Honolulu two years ago. Wongwai holds the inter-scholastic record of Honolulu for both distances. He can go out on track in the spring.

expects to have taken in the permission by another week. Nn estimate of the amount of wealth which this second tomb contains—which is the only other one in that part of the country—can be estimated by the fact that holds the fabulous wealth found in that of King Tud-Ankh-Amen, K. U, will be fortunate, for Mr. ElDriny has expressly stipulated that he will give one-fourth of the treasure found in the tomb to K. U, one-fourth will go to the Museum of King City, and one-half to himself.
According to El-Dirny the cave is a large one and has a door composed of huge rocks placed perpendicularly against its mouth. The mouth of the cave is about four meters square and the probable resting place of an ancient king is about ten meters high.
K. U. will await with interest developments in the excavation of this age-old tomb which may bring millions to its treasury and millions to its new and fortunate owner. At any rate interest may rival that created several months ago by the opening of King Tut's tomb.

Greater Territory Is Threatened as Winds Fan California Fires
Organization Is Under Way for Work of Reconstruction on Burned Area
San Francisco, Sept. 20 (U.P.)—Forest fires, which seemed to be under control last night, were fanned by winds into new furry duty and threatened Marin county, across the bay from San Francisco. A thousand men were fighting the flames which threaten Geronimo and La Guitas. Latest reports were that the blaze was again being put under control.
Meanwhile, in Berkeley, where was wrought $10,000,000 of the $15,000,000 damage done by the five, there was rapid organization for reconstructions. They were kept on guard and no one was silhouetted in the barred area without a permit.
Other college professors were engaged in the same work, some hunting for romaines of libraries, some for objections, some trying to find botany collections.
In the burned district, householders who had lost property here searched the ruins for what they could salvage, Benjamin Idé Wheeler, president emeritus of the University of Californi, spent most of his time on the spot where his home had stood, search for missing bodies, and search of books which might have been saved. He is said to have recovered very little.
During the day the work of dymming continues. Chimneys stand like tombatshes in a cemetery, practically the only things left standing on the ruins. Mountaintops property owners are making plans to rebuild.
Fire Menace Not Great
Shea Says University Buildings Are Nearly Fire Proof
"Fire prevention week no doubt will work some good, but that should be exactly fifty-two just such weeks in every year," said John 23, 167, of his grounds, this morning, when interviewed concerning his idea of the probable impotence of a national fire prevention week starting Oct. 9, as designated by President Coolidge. "Buildings at the University, however, present but little danger in case of a fire," he noted. There are too nearly fire-proof, and besides they are widely separated. The greatest menace to human life on the campus now is, in my opinion, the recklessly driven motor car. Very low drivers keep their cars at twice the speed they are miles an hour. A sentiment against careless driving should be fostered. "The careless cigarette smoker also presents a grave danger to those around him. Cigarettes carelessly fling asides are the cause of fires." Such smokers would do well to ob

Lindley to Talk Friday at First Big Convocation
Classes Will Be Shortened to Allow for Morning Event; Cheerleader to Be There
New students will have their first opportunity to absorb the K. U. spirit by joining in singing the Alma Mater at the first all-University convention at 10 a. m. Friday, in Robinson gymnasium. Classes will be short and informal, and the convolution schedule to allow for the hour between 10 and 11 a. m.

Immediately after announcements Chancellor E. H. Lindley will address the student body on the subject "Drift, Accident, Purpose." Drift is followed by "Rock Chalk" will conclude the meeting.
Plenty of Peg
A great deal of enthusiasm will mark the opening of the fifty-fourth annual all-University convocation. "Ham" Hamilton, University chore leader, will lead the "Rock Chalk", which, with an enrollment greatly increased over last year's figures, promises to be the greatest ever given to engineers and laws will probably take up the old spirit of the yell and again show their old aggressiveness and competition.
Chancellor Lindley's address will be the feature of the first assembly, which is being conducted in words which upperclassmen, as well as freshmen, will do well to regard.
Downing Will Sing
W. B. Downing, professor of voice in the School of Fine Arts, will sing "Aspiration" by Cox, accompanied by Professor Carl A. Progen, Donald Swarthorth, dean of the School of Fine Arts, will lead the assembly in the concession hymn, and the "Crimson and the Blue."
It is expected that embodied in the formal announcements of coming events of importance will be informational prospects for a victorious football team.
The words of the "Crimson and the Blue" follow:
Stands our noble Alma Mater Towering toward the blue.
Crimson and the Blue
Far above the golden valley,
Glorious to view,
Stands our noble Alma Mate
CHORUS
Lift the chorus ever onward,
Crimson and the Blue,
Hail to three our Alma Mater,
Hail to K. S. U.
Far above the distant humming
Of the busy town,
Reared against the dome of heaven,
Looks she proudly down.
Greet we then our foster mother,
Noble friend so true,
We will ever sing her praises,
Dear old K. S. U.
